According to provincial surgery head Dr. Ivar Mendez, the purchase of the Da Vinci surgery system will cost approximately $2.5 million.
The province and the St. Paul’s Hospital Foundation started procurement thanks to a $1-million donation from the family of philanthropist Merlis Belsher, who are also matching up to $100,000 in donations to the foundation. The provincial government is paying the remaining $1 million in capital costs, plus operating expenses.Article contentCourtesy SPH Foundation
“It is the natural evolution of technology. You don’t use a paper map to navigate a city. You use GPS. It is the same with surgery,” Mendez said earlier this year.The system, which will be deployed at St. Paul’s Hospital in Saskatoon, will be used in urology, head and neck cancer, thoracic surgery and gynecological oncology, to operate on parts of the throat, abdomen and pelvis that surgeons have a hard time reaching.
